Great service with lots of Portuguese products. Bakery is wonderful!! So happy to have them in the area!

I received my order today and I have to say I'm so extremely happy with the customer service they provided, the quality of food and the speedy no hassle delivery. Best experience I've had in a long time.   Thank you read more

I came here for their Portuguese egg tarts and the first time, they ran out :( so I decided to come around 10:30 am to buy some! I bought a dozen ($12) to share with my coworkers. The tarts were a bit small for the price but they were definitely creamy and sweet. Not bad! I just wished the tarts were warm...when I bit into one, it was cold. I'd definitely pop it in the oven to warm it up and hopefully it make the sides crispy too! read more

A little difficult to find, tucked in the back of a small strip mall in Hayward. They open at 7:00, yummy aroma and fresh Portuguese baked goodies await you. Got fresh Portuguese sweet bread that was fluffy, sweet and delicious. Brought 12 custard tarts, raisin scones, almond tarts and a few guava tarts for the office. Custard tarts were gone before I had a chance to taste them! But I was told they were delicious, creamy eggy sweet and a crisp puff pastry crust. The scones, almond and guava tarts were delish as well. I came early, right when they opened, so they had all the goodies. I hear if you come later, they sell out of some products. Next time I'll pick up some of their other sweets and cookies. read more

If you want Portuguese groceries and/or bakery, this is the place. Great prices on tinned bacalao and membrillo. Special cheeses. Hours are limited, as they are everywhere these days. It is a Portuguese bakery, so don't expect Chinese or Mexican pastries. There is a sign on the counter about what is in the back. Read it and order, you will not be disappointed. The almond tarts are lovely. A very special place. read more

All of their breads and pastries are fantastic! I also like that they have a variety of Portuguese products from meats and cheeses to everyday kitchen products. And the customer service has always been pleasant. read more

Portugal is not a country known for its baking prowess like Austria or France, but most typical baked goods pined for by the Portuguese can be found in this bakery. One can also find Portuguese staples like codfish, sardines, Portuguese sausage (linguica), blood sausage (morcela) and naturally olive oil. The bakes *you* will find of most interest will be the Qeijadas de Nata (kay-jha-dahs jee nah-ta) and Massa Sovada (mah-sah so-vah-dah). These items are respectively the ancestors of the custard tart found in every Chinese bakery and the sweet bread we unfairly credit to Hawaii. Both items were adopted by local populations in the golden era when tiny Portugal ruled half the world. Tempura in Japanese cuisine is another borrowing from the Portuguese. You may be surprised not to find malasadas here. Although Hawaiians generously credit the Portuguese for this doughnut-like delicacy, it is actually unknown in Portugal itself, having evolved in the colonies. Good luck finding this place! Not only is it located in an obscure and difficult to enter strip mall but also the owner has not bothered to update the shop sign, continuing to do business under the name of the previous occupant, Hiser Bakery. Opening hours are limited and potentially inconvenient: 7am-6pm and closed Sun and Mon. read more

Hiser sells Portuguese breads, baked goods, sausages, cheese and some groceries. TARTS (the size of a quarter) PASTEIS DE NATA: Very sweet lemon flavored custard tart,with a paper thin crust. PASTEIS DE COCO: Light filling like a coconut macaroon in the paper thin tart shell. DONA AMELIAS: Tiny tarts that tasted like date bread with a hint of molasses. QUEIJADAS: Smooth sweet bean tarts that had a texture similar to pumpkin pie. COOKIES BISCOTTOS: Hard, ring-shaped Portuguese cookies. ESPICIE: Tasty almond cookie similar to cookies sold at Chinese bakeries. FEITICEURAS (WITCHES) Spicy, per fumy, small brown and white wreath shaped cookies. BREAD PAO DOCE: Portuguese Sweet Bread that is like Hawaiian sweet bread, flavored with nutmeg, cinnamon and lemon. It comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. BOLO: Pizza-sized flat bread make of white corn flour that is made on Thursday and Friday only. White cornmeal doesn't taste like yellow cornmeal/ Bolo tastes like potato bread. It is toasted and served with butter. Freeze it if not eating that day because this fresh-baked bread goes stale quickly. PAPOS SECOS: Soft Portuguese hard roll. Recommended highly. HOLIDAY BAKED GOODS PAO DOCE: At Christmas dried fruit is added to the sweet bread FRUITCAKE: Very dark, sweet fruitcake loaded with candied fruit, liquor and dried figs. Very intense. Available around Christmas. MALASSADAS: Fritter-like donuts available on Fat Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday). Donuts are available plain or rolled in granulated sugar. The interior is light and fluffy and the exterior is slightly oily with crispy parts. FOLARES: Easter sweet bread with two, four or six undyed eggs baked in the top. Orders should be placed before Good Friday Special occasion and wedding cakes are available with a choice of 14 flavors and 17 fillings. GROCERIES There is a little deli case with large wheels of Portuguese cheese like Topo and cabreiro. Tastes are available. Goularts and other brands of Portuguese sausages are available. There are other items like dried fish. There are also a few shelves of canned goods, condiments and cookies. The bakery is closed on Sunday and Monday. read more

This is just a tiny little bakery that is incredibly hidden (behind Jack-in-the-Box, next to Union Jack Pub) that sells Portuguese cheese, baked goods, groceries, etc. I have to give this four stars because I am Portuguese and I was so excited to find this place. My dad used to make linguica in the fireplace and homemade sweet bread, but now he doesn't have the time and Hiser will have to fill that void. I got a dozen filhos (Portuguese donuts similar to malassadas) on Fat Tuesday. MMM....greasy childhood in a bag. read more

Second attempt on these bake goods and finally got some!!!!! Some compared it to golden gate bakery's egg tarts... I would say its good, but I still like my sf egg tart more.. Definitely worth trying! read more

This place is too good . Always pick up my sweet bread , Sumol and Pasteis de Nata from here. Always perfect .

I am so delighted to have a great Portuguese bakery so close to where I live! I absolutely love the selection available here. It's great to not have to go all the way to Little Portugal in San Jose for some sweet bread and tarts. read more

This place rocks, one of the few things worthy about Hayweird. The owners are friendly and it is a lil bakery and more. I love their portuguese egg tarts - heavenly. They also have salt cod and all kinds of cool snacks that you will never find in other places. My daughter loves their portuguese bun, which was huge. We will definitely be back. read more

Delicious and reasonably priced! I travel for the cornbread, rolls, and baccalau tartlets

They deserved 4 stars for their service as well as their yummy tarts. Their egg custard tarts are great, but they are a little too sweet for my taste. Almond tarts are alright and their coconut tarts are SO...... DELICIOUS, not too sweet, they are just perfectly fit my taste of sweetness. read more

Silva Bakery - Almond tart and Coconut tarts. YUMMY... - Bakeries Near Me - Hayward, California

This is truly a hole in the wall bakery. We ordered the almond pastry and orange cranberry scone. Both were delicious. Not overly sweet and very flavourful. Everything is very affordable and can't wait to try different pastries. read more

Hands down, the best Portuguese baked goods & food. Every time I come back to visit my family in San Jose, I make a trip to buy my Portuguese goodies. I really, really wish they were able to ship because I'm nowhere near local & I'd have some very regular orders I'd be placing! read more

Best pasteis de nata that I've had in a while! And it's incredible value - $12 for a dozen little pieces of heaven :) Plus, the woman who helped me was such a sweetheart. She truly brightened my morning especially as I was so deprived of sleep. read more

I had bookmarked this place for a while and was really interested in trying their custard tarts. Since we were in the neighborhood, I had my husband drop me off after brunch. I bought 6 custard tarts for $7.20. This is our first time trying Portuguese food so we weren't sure what to expect. When we got home, I digged in. The tart were way too sweet for our palates and the crust was chewy (unlike the Chinese egg tarts, which are crunchy). My husband who loves the Chinese version, thought that this was just ok. Customer service was good. When I was ready to pay, the phone rang. Instead of having me to wait to pay, the man who helped me out, told the person (on the phone) to hold so that he can ring me up. In terms of location...it's in the same plaza as Jack In The Box (right behind it). read more

First time coming here and absolutely love them! The man was so nice I got few tarts and few linguicas. Usually we get the normal yellow packaged linguicas you can buy at any local market but this one was special it tasted sooo much different and so delicious a more authentic taste made breakfast with it and we were so happy! The desserts were soooo delish as well I came around 11 so the almond tarts were sold out but I was able to get the coconut and custard tart it was amazing I will be back again thank you!! read more

I hate to give a poor review to any Portuguese business, especially in this area where there are so few. I tried coming by on a Monday, but they were closed, So, I stopped by mid-afternoon on a Saturday to check the place out. Now, I love me some pastries, but there was nothing in the pastry case that I wanted to eat. The other goods (linguica/chorico, sardines, etc) were essentially the same you can get at 2-3 other businesses in the area. I bought their sweetbread (I forget what they call it - I'm mainland Portuguese and the Azorians have another name for it). It was overly dry and not sweet enough. The only standout was their fresh rolls. They were good enough to justify a return visit, and I'll be sure to give their other items a second try. read more

Do yourself a favor and get one of their orange/cranberry scones. Only ONE DOLLAR and SO tasty! I was making a u-turn on Mission and spotted this place! Otherwise, it is a little difficult to spot. While you are here, take a tour through the small thrift store next door. It's crazy and disorganized, as the BEST thrift stores are. Wonderful bargains and the owner is a sweetheart! They have so many delicious treats here--I will be back! read more

This place is a hidden gem. The owner, Alvaro, is extremely sweet and makes amazing pastries. I tried the infamous Portuguese custard tart, a delicious round cookie with brown dough bubbled through the top, and a coconut tart. They were all SO good. Even cold. They also have Portuguese, Brazilian, and other imported goods in a little grocery section. I will go back again the next time I'm in the area. It's off of the street a bit, just pull into the Jack In The Box parking lot on the corner of Mission and you'll find it. read more

It's really tasty. Egg Tarts and the Almond Puff Pastry are a must. I do prefer Chinese Egg Tarts more than Portuguese Egg Tarts. Their prices have gone up again :( The Almond Puff Pastry are now $2 each (vs $1.50 just several months ago). read more

Custard tarts are too die for but call ahead of time, so the owner and head baker plans to make on a specific day. Good breads and authentic Portuguese breads and pastries. Every tarts are good too. Great find for linguica, sweets, sardines and other traditional grocery items. Although their store looks like it needs renovation like replacing the windows, and the business is still open during construction. This is behind Jack in the box restaurant. Just discovered this place at yelp and the breads and pastries sold at a Portuguese grocery store at Washington Blvd in Fremont. read more

Love love the custard tarts! Call agead of time if they still have in stock bexause once they run out for tge day, they don't bake some anymore. This means, they are freshly baked everyday and they run out fast! The girl there is really sweet and helpful. She recommended other pastries that are also good in case there are no custards anymore. read more

It's great to come across mom and pop type bakeries, the breads are fresh and it smells good when you enter. Support local when you get a chance. They offer other food and groceries too. read more

Great baked goods! Had to try all their tart options to see what was good. The egg tart is a must. Delicious if toasted a bit.

The pastry looked better on Yelp than it actual taste. The tarts are very oily and soggy. The almond pastry was covered in burnt almond which make the pastry taste nasty. The Palmieri cookie was ok, nothing special. Small shop, nothing much to offer. read more

I've never been to a Portuguese bakery before and I read on yelp that this place has the Portuguese Egg tart so I have to try it. I've only have Portuguese Egg tarts from Chinese bakeries. I got the egg tarts and a jam-filled bun. The bun was pretty good but it would have been better if the jam was more towards the center and maybe just a bit more. Portuguese egg tart was too sweet for my palate but my coworkers enjoyed them a lot. read more

Love, Love, Love the place! Greeted when i came in and got all the assistance i needed.

Portuguese tarts are to die for and it's the only Portuguese bakery in the Bay Area and the only place that sells authentic pastel de nata!

Visited Silva Bakery 2-3 times for Pasteis de Nata & Queijadas de Coco and each time they were sold out. I finally placed an order and they were SO worth the wait! Even my 85 year old Grandmother who questioned the flaky crust (her recipe doesn't have this) ended up being a fan! The Almond Dreams are equality amazing! I'm so happy to be able to introduce my children to their ancestry through Silva's authentic foods. read more

This Bakery has the most amazing bread - fresh-baked with love bread - that you could get in the entire East Bay. The Portuguese style cornbread is some of the most amazing bread that I've ever had. I will consistently drive to this place from Pleasanton to just get loaves of that bread at a time. read more

Awsome Place to shop, They have everything I need and pasteries are really fresh. Love the Bread and sweet bread, YUM, YUM Place is clean and convenient to shop, frendly employees with very good service. Prices are much better than the competor. Glad to have a place with such fresh Bakery goods. read more

Peanut butter cookies were good but pretty greasy, and my mom liked the bread pudding. She's very picky about her bread pudding, but said theirs was really good. The Portuguese sweet bread was tasty too! It tastes similar to Hawaiian bread but more dense. 5 STARS for excellent customer service from the young lady @ the counter :) read more

Authentic Portuguese bakery, another "hidden gem" of Hayward. It's really good, but my husband thinks that I like it more than I actually do and always buys way too much. We've tried everything. Our favorites are the tarts. They are good even a few days after purchase. read more

Well, I've never been to Silva Bakery but they do deliver (on Thursdays I believe) to The Spanish Table in Berkeley and I ended up buying their pão de milho (white corn bread) and a pastel de nata (custard pastry) there and it was soooooo good! Uma delícia, viu? My first pastel de nata was in a fast-food joint in Belém (Brazil, not Lisbon) and it was just so-so...so it was really nice to finally have a real pastel de nata for once! I'm hooked! I'm wondering how the rest of their food tastes but I'm sure it's just as good! read more

I will definitely be back for the amazing coconut macaroons, but not for anything else I think. wish there was more variety of pastries. The turnovers are good but they're not really my thing. read more

I love this place! It's right around the corner from my mother-in-law's house. Pick up some pasteis de Nata and you won't be disappointed. They carry several items from both Portugal and Brazil. The only thing was that I was hoping to have fresh pão de queijo instead of the frozen kind. Still, pretty tasty. Wash it down with a Sumol! Friendly staff. Muito obrigada. read more
